Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 has been missing since March 8, and the search for its whereabouts has consumed media attention worldwide. But to Fox News, the missing airliner is reminiscent of Benghazi.   
Conservative media have repeatedly attempted to link the 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, to a variety of unrelated events, often invoking the tragedy to attack President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton or to deflect conservatives from scrutiny.
Inside the right-wing bubble, the Chris Christie bridge scandalYom Kippur, Monday Night Football, and even openly gay NFL prospect Michael Sam are all opportunities to invoke Benghazi.
It was only a matter of time before Fox brought the same mentality to its coverage of the missing plane:
Host Bill O'Reilly: Media Are Talking About The Plane To Avoid Talking About Benghazi. Bill O'Reilly complained about the media "running wild" coverage of missing flight MH370 on the March 20 edition of The O'Reilly Factor,
arguing that so much attention is devoted to the story in part because the press "doesn't want to cover important stories like the IRS and Benghazi."   
now we know of the repeated rebuking of Fox's fairy tales that they have been trying to pin on the donkeys have all been investigated and found to guilt on this admin., that however never stopped republicans from spreading the misinformation of some clandestine effort by the Dems to hide that which is only in the heads of republicans, they can't find what is not where they are looking and throwing eggs on the wall only the transparent whites will stick, no pun intended.
Analyst Ralph Peters: Missing Airliner Is To Malaysia What Benghazi Is To U.S. Fox's strategic analyst Ralph Peters told The Kelly File on March 18 that for the Malaysian government, the missing plane is "their Benghazi":
PETERS: The Malaysian government was obviously blindsided. They didn't know what to do. It was sort of their Benghazi scandal. The Malaysian military was embarrassed, the Malaysian airline was embarrassed.
Analyst Peter Johnson, Jr.: "Incredible Phenomenon" That Newscasts Don't Focus On Benghazi, Only The Missing Plane. On Fox & Friends on March 21, Fox's legal analyst Peter Johnson, Jr. called it "quite incredible" that media is so focused on the missing Malaysia flight rather than "things like Benghazi":
JOHNSON, JR: This is quite incredible, and it's an incredible phenomenon. Leading the nightly newscasts in America for the last 11 days, these newscasts don't focus on things like Benghazi, Fast & Furious, and IRS. But they do have the capacity to understand this story, and as do we here at Fox News Channel.
now remember the republicans and right wing cohorts were all up in arms originally because 4 died at Benghazi, but they repeatedly only mentioned the ambassador Stevens, not the other 3.  they where silent after Bus's wars racked up thousands more not to mention the deaths caused by the attack, which was mostly caused by Bush and company ignoring the threats repeatedly.
my point for months it's been Bengazi mostly, IRS, NSA loss of life 4, Malaysian plane potentially 239, where is the concern and with potential terrorist implications and Mid East turmoil war mongering republicans are cheering on, WHY ARE THEY STILL BEATING DEAD HORSES DOES 4 TRUMP 239?
